The Legacy Collection / Re: Fan's Choice Returns
« on: July 10, 2006, 10:58 PM »Exactly roron, I've seen lots more people saying they voted for Bastilla or Malak than they voted for Revan. That is what smells overly fishy about the whole thing. I believe Vos won, I really do and its a figure I can throw in the Mos Espa scene or something.
Are you suggesting that a Star Wars fan voting event could be anything less than completely honest and valid!? I'm shocked!

Expanded universe won't do well for the same reason it never does well. The fan base isn't there. Hell, I've read almost all of the books and played most of the video games, and I'm not even interested in EU toys. Kids who haven't read the books certainly won't be interested. So you're starting off with only half of your customer base - and then subtract non-collectors like myself... it's a niche market at best.

So wait, it takes them several extra months to count the votes (despite them being counted as they were cast) and somehow the guy who was behind by how many votes (30? 50?) manages to win?
Complete, and total, bull****.

Must be a regional distribution thing... of my 12 (one carded) 10 were from Wal Marts, 1 from Target, and 1 from TRU.

« on: July 10, 2006, 02:26 PM »
To animate light like that you'd use Adobe Imageready and create an animated gif. Basically you'd need layers for each possible frame that would exist and then you turn them on or off for each frame and tell it how long to leave each frame on screen for.
It's how I make all this kind of stuff:
If you want to go really crazy, Adobe After Effects has a lightning plug-in. It doesn't look much like real lightning, but it certainly looks as much like lightning as the stuff shown in this thread - and it's much more malleable.

Here's my question... oil hit another record high the other day, something like $75.78 per barrel.
But gas is still a little under 3$.
Is that because Exxon and the rest have decided that $3.00 is the magic number that takes people from being mad, to being furious and asking questions (read: Congress) or are there other factors involved? It just seems odd that oil is at an all time high, but gas isn't.

Anyone want to throw up a spoiler warning and post what happens after the credits for those of us who had to piss so bad that we didn't even think to stay just incase?

Went to Target today to get some snacks before going to the movies and stumbled across one more.
Which makes 11.

I just got back... it was everything that a Summer blockbuster should be... I had a great time watching it - being as it was one of the most over-the-top things I've ever seen.

« on: July 9, 2006, 02:17 AM »I always thought that Jango's skin tone was natural, not a tan...
Well, Temuera Morrison is from New Zealand and he's Maori - so yes, his skin tone is natural and not a tan.
But Jango Fett and the clones that ended up as Biker Scouts? Who the hell knows?

« on: July 8, 2006, 03:57 PM »I did not realize all DS gunners were turning into "Sith" with Red Eyes...will not bother me though, since they will never have their helmets off to reveal the "Clone trooper" head.
That's how I'm going to look at it too. If they wanted to do various heads, I'd be cool with it - but if they want to put Jango's head on everything, they'll never see daylight at my collection.

« on: July 7, 2006, 08:50 PM »He also has two chins, for twice the ass-kicking power. I got to write a databank entry in the prequal Trilogy forum on him.
Isn't that second chin just the helmet strap?
